After all, based on past experience, the main quest rewards should be entirely the work compensation provided by St. George's University.
In contrast to the [Crop Circle] instance, the mayor of Wheat Field Town rewards the detectives who come to investigate the truth with food.
Even just from the surface description, St. George's University already seems much more high-end.
There is a normal salary with money and proof of employment.
There are also items like the Radiant Badge and the Doom Potion, which clearly have special functions.
None of the original professors in the college survived.
None of the newly hired math teachers were able to teach for more than a week.
In this light, the fact and the rumors circulating have dealt a tremendous blow to St. George's University.
The school itself has to offer sufficiently attractive compensation in order to barely retain teachers who are still willing to teach.
Therefore, the main quest rewards this time were actually the most generous Gu Xinghe had ever received in all the dungeons he had experienced.
After receiving the data and mission information for this game instance, Gu Xinghe looked up and began to examine his teammates.
But this observation also surprised him somewhat.
Looking at the faces of the three people in front of him, which weren't entirely unfamiliar to him, Gu Xinghe couldn't help but think to himself—
Was the game instance he participated in this time actually a game with acquaintances?
Of course, calling them "acquaintances" is not entirely accurate.
To be precise, the three people in front of him were all people he knew.
Among the three, the only male was none other than Luo Zhiye, whom he had just met.
Having been "pushed" out by Eris to attend the banquet at Rose Manor, Luo Zhiye left almost immediately after the banquet ended.
Unexpectedly, two days later, Gu Xinghe and Luo Zhiye met again in the same game instance.
However, if we say that Gu Xinghe and Luo Zhiye have some overlap...
But for Gu Xinghe, the remaining two female players were practically only someone he met once.
One of them was Li Ruoshan, a player who had once done the beginner dungeon with him in Rose Manor.
At that time, Li Ruoshan was in the later stages of the game.
The pollution in the manor has caused eyeballs to grow abnormally on her arm.
For the purpose of drug testing, Gu Xinghe once gave her a bottle of a semi-finished drug that he had made.
Surprisingly, Li Ruoshan has managed to survive to this day.
Moreover, the mutation that had originally appeared in her arm has now completely disappeared.
Now it seems that Li Ruoshan's arm is no different from that of an ordinary person.
Aside from Luo Zhiye and Li Ruoshan, the last player present was Huang Sihui, who was also a female player like Li Ruoshan.
Gu Xinghe did not have a deep impression of Huang Sihui and did not know her name.
But his increasingly powerful mental strength also made his memories of past events clearer and easier.
Therefore, he did remember seeing her once at the Golden Apple Theater.
At that time, she was clearly playing a dungeon quest as a player.
Gu Xinghe recalled that at the time, someone checked his ticket and showed him his seat at the theater entrance.
And the person who presented the theater with a souvenir gift upon their departure was none other than Wong Sze-wai.
At this moment, as Gu Xinghe observed the three people in front of him, they all clearly recognized him.
But at the same time, the thoughts of these three acquaintances upon seeing Gu Xinghe seemed somewhat different from those of ordinary people—
【Yay! I can just relax and be a couch potato this time!】
This is a very genuine sentiment from Luo Zhiye's heart.
Because they discovered that Gu Xinghe had entered the same instance as them again.
Luo Zhiye is now in a state of complete complacency, basically "whatever Gu Xinghe's attitude is, he will resolutely support it".
However, the remaining two female players, Li Ruoshan and Huang Sihui, expressed a strange consistency in their thoughts.
After exchanging a glance, the two women simultaneously thought to themselves—
This must be divine guidance! I can gaze upon Him again!
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinghe glanced at them with an ambiguous expression.
At this point, he was certain that the two people definitely knew each other.
Moreover, Gu Xinghe also recalled more clues related to their current inexplicable state—
Back in the Rose Manor, eyeballs had already begun to grow on Li Ruoshan's arm.
Moreover, in the few times they met at that time, she always seemed to be secretly observing and sizing him up.
During their encounter at the Golden Apple Theater, Gu Xinghe recalled that Huang Sihui had expressed similar sentiments in her heart.
I wish my gaze could stay fixed on him forever, that I could keep watching him!
Although the content wasn't exactly the same, Gu Xinghe remembered that this was Huang Sihui's inner thought when she handed him the theater's souvenir gift as he was leaving the theater.
The reason for the unusual situation between Huang Sihui and Li Ruoshan is now clear.
It must be related to the concepts of "gazing" or "eyes".
But if that's the case, Luo Zhiye also seems to exist as Eris's "eyes".
With that in mind, Gu Xinghe stopped thinking about it further. The most important thing now was obviously the task at hand.
After exchanging greetings, Gu Xinghe finally learned Huang Sihui's name.
